It stood outside in the rain for 3 days and then with help from my buddy Charlie we loaded it up and took it to my garage, and with help from my buddy Mikael we fixed the problem.

Hmm what else? well the biggest classic VW show in Sweden. Bug Run Classic moved from Mantorp park witch is a 5-6hour ride away in a old beetle to Tierp Arena witch is a 30minute ride from where i live. 4 years ago, and from that moment i just wanted my own beetle again and drive to the show. Well this summer it happend.

Went there on Friday morning and sleept in the car that night and was the first one att the car wash area on Saturday morning =)

Hmm what else?

I have been thinking i should by some polished “Fuchs” but i would like to see how the fit first, couse i have a stock wide front beam, i borrowed a set of detailed “Fuchs” from my body Tony with the right hight on the tires, looks damn good but i will keep the steelies on this summer.

Project Coffee Glider out on the streets.

last time this car was out on the streets or the last time it passed it´s inspection was back in 1989. i have been so damn busy so it hasn´t been mutch action on the blog lately. But now the car is pretty mutch finito. a couple of stuff left like fixing better front tires with lower profile, i had to raise it up all the way in the front just so i could turn.

ohh well pictures from yesterday.

Project Coffee Glider update

Well it took me one year, or it has been one year since i bought the car, but i had a hold upp for 3-4 month and a couple of weeks here and there. But tonight, one year after i bought it i finaly could take my first cruise in it.

Enjoy….I know i did 🙂

Coffee Glider update

Got my wheels painted and mounted new 205-65 in the back and some decent 135-65 in the front.

I have to pass the inspection before i can lower it, or i prefor to do it that way.
